Throw a punch

You swing at the young woman's face and surprise her with a nasty shot to her cheek. Your hands are pretty big, so you also managed to get a decent shot in on her temple as well.

Her momentum from charging at you carries her through your punch, as she ends up falling nearly head first into the floor. This gives you a moment to take the fight in, and process what your next course of action should be before you proceed. You couldn't help but feel frustrated at what happened though.

"Zara's downed body would make for an easy opportunity to attack right now" your thoughts led on.

"Hey, you didn't have to hit her that hard!" Your girlfriend protests. You seemingly ignore her while making your next move.
